Pundit believes Van Dijk’s Liverpool move will still happen

The breakdown of Virgil van Dijk’s move to Liverpool has been branded “strange” by Chris Kamara, who still believes the Reds will sign the Southampton defender this summer.

Liverpool have made the powerful Dutchman one of their prime targets this summer, but they were forced into a very public climbdown after their actions were reported to the FA by Southampton.

A statement at the beginning of June read: “Liverpool Football Club would like to put on record our regret over recent media speculation regarding Southampton Football Club and player transfers between the two clubs.

“We apologise to the owner, board of directors and fans of Southampton for any misunderstanding regarding Virgil van Dijk.

“We respect Southampton’s position and can confirm we have ended any interest in the player.”
